to not understand twins on mumsnet!!

[ilovethickboys2]

Why is it that on MN you're accused of trolling for mentioning twins
seen a lot of troll hunting threads:
'they always have bloody twins'
I happen to have two sets of twins.
the hell does that make me???
what's this hatred of twins on here??

I also have twins. It's not a hatred of twins. It's a mild loathing of arsehole trolls who play on people's good nature with made up shit.

@youthecat makes my blood boil

what's this hatred of twins on here??

I think you're being somewhat melodramatic. It just happens that many farfetched stories on here seem to include twins, seems to add to the 'dramatic effect'. It especially seems to occur during fake pregnancy drama threads, hence becoming something of a trope to say 'I bet it will be twins' as a synonym to 'I dont believe this'.

@SquareAsABlock never seen a thread like that

@ilovethickboys2, hang around for a while .

SquareAs summarises well. You can guarantee that any dramatic thread will have some dripfed twins somewhere. As soon as I see twins in one of those threads, I demote it to 'for entertainment only' and stop investing.

And begging threads. It's always 35p on a leccy and weeks old twins.

Yep it’s a reference to the bored people looking for a connection/rise out of people late at night.
For example “I suspect my DH is having an affair. I’ve found messages on the computer, I know which hotel he’s staying in but have cancer/twins/sick child in bed” circle as appropriate or all three.
There’s always twins.

I remember one such like the above and AnyFucker came on and just said “twins, you say?” .. the scales fell from my eyes at that point, it had seemed relatively convincing or am I kidding myself

It's never twins!

Trolls seem to like pretending they’ve got twins. There have been a lot of threads deleted.

Wait until you see the triplets threads...

Trolls seem to like pretending they’ve got twins.

Yes, its really annoying as I am a sucker for them, having twins myself. It is as well to be aware.

Jesus Christ. why twins?? how are twins comparable to fucking cancer

I think they help with a lot of begging threads. As in ‘well, we were doing fine, then DH lost his job and I found out I was pregnant with twins.’

Having two babies means more money and also more likely for a complex pregnancy.

You have two sets of twins OP?

Blimey!

@crunchymum yep. they're the best kids on earth to be honest

Lots of trolls say they have or are having twins. That’s why people are often dubious when they’re mentioned.

Two sets of twins you say? Check your store cupboards quickly, are you down to your last tin of beans?

It's OK, she's got a Mumsnet chicken for the week.

Never noticed. I have not seen as many stories of hardship this xmas either.

You eat the whole chicken in a week? Surely you can make it last longer than that.

Personally I manage on one lettuce leaf each for the week and a quick sniff of the stock pot.

I've not seen it. Have seen a few posters talking about having twins but nothing negative, maybe I've just been lucky. Twins must be lovely to have and they aren't unusual.

Amature. I live off the fumes of all the ironing I take in. Anything else is just gluttonous.

Wow op you have posted some odd stuff today?

Did you just join?
